Charming, 50's Era Beach Cottage. Pet Friendly. Fenced Yard. Hot Tub.

Welcome to your retreat that's conveniently located close to the beach, to restaurants, and much more! This quaint 1950's era cottage (previously named, Cozy Cottage) is an easy 5 minute walk to the ocean, to several restaurants and to Jaycee Park. It is a great spot to enjoy your Tybee time whether you're seeking quiet solitude or connection to the island community (or a combination of both!)

Hermit Crab's Cottage is a refurbished 2 bedroom, 1 bath bungalow and is ready to welcome guests to Tybee Island! The home offers a full kitchen, living area, and 2 bedrooms furnished with queen size beds. The living room and both bedrooms each have a TV with basic cable and Roku for streaming your favorite entertainment. The bedrooms share a Jack-n-Jill bathroom with a standing shower. For music lovers, there is a quality stereo to play your favorite tunes from your device.

With multiple outdoor spaces, you will be able to enjoy the outside in any weather. There is a fully fenced-in backyard with seating areas and decks in the sun and in the shade. There is a spacious screened porch with comfortable seating and a hot tub (with speakers connected to the inside stereo.) An outdoor fire pit is also located in the backyard to warm you up on a chilly night. There is a gas grill and an outdoor dining set (seating for 4) on the side deck.

Did we mention the hot tub and the outdoor shower? Rinse off after the a hot sandy day at the beach. Warm up those cool winter nights in the hot tub, which is inside the screened porch living area.

This cottage is situated on a quiet street in the North End of Tybee where you can enjoy a restful vacation experience without giving up convenience. This home is a great retreat for a couple, a few close friends, or a small family vacation.

To access the main beach, take an easy stroll just 4 blocks up a quiet unpaved road, with no busy traffic to cross on your way. For the "active life" and families, there is easy access to Jaycee Park with its playground, frisbee golf, basketball court and walking trails. Biking is a joy on the island! (look for specially marked roads in some neighborhoods.) Within a 5-10 minute walk, you will also find several shops and local dining options.

This home is pet-friendly, for an additional fee. Please know ahead, NO DOGS ARE ALLOWED ON THE BEACH at any time.

Perfect cottage in Tybee!

What a wonderful stay in this immaculate, comfortable, well-appointed beach house with a beautiful fenced-in yard! We walked to the beach and to lovely restaurants, and enjoyed walking our dogs at the pretty Jaycee park very nearby. Every detail has been considered in this lovely retreat that my husband referred to as “the best VRBO we ever stayed in!” Needless to say, we cannot wait to stay here again. Our sincere thanks to the owners for a wonderful stay!

Clean and cozy cottage

Small but worked for us ! Everything we needed at our fingertips......absolutely loved the play list on the Ipad , being able to grill our fresh fish purchase, a nightly dip in the wonderful hot tub, close to beach, shops, and restaurants. Could'nt ask for anything else ! It was the most relaxing vacation we have had in a long time ! The host were very helpful with any questions we had during our stay, and also suggested a restaurant in walking distance for us to try......and it was outstanding !!! Could'nt thank them enough for a great week stay.

Best Stay Ever!

I've generally had good luck with VRBO listings, but this cottage is the best! Check in was so easy with the unit even ready early. The condition of the property was immaculate, and the hosts were the most generous I've ever encountered. A nicely stocked kitchen made it very homey and a super easy stroll down to the beach. Absolutely a 5-star experience!
